Kmart Black Friday 2013

The Kmart Black Friday 2013 ad leak is in! They’ve not only released a 12-page Thanksgiving Day ad, but they’ve also provided 68 pages worth of deals for their customers. Contrary to popular rumors, the store will not be open for 41 straight hours. Their sales will last from Thursday until Saturday, but they’ll be punctuated by 2 and 3 hour breaks. Scroll down for details on store hours and the best Kmart Black Friday deals of 2013.

Kmart jumped on the Grey Thursday bandwagon last year, but this year it’s challenging the rest of the Black Friday competition by staying open a solid 41 hours! The retail giant announced that it will be opening its doors on Thursday morning at 6 a.m. and will remain open until 11 p.m. on Black Friday. Stay tuned for more Kmart Black Friday 2013 updates.

Kmart knows a thing or two about cultivating enthusiasm for their Black Friday Event. At 47 pages, the store’s 2012 ad seemed to have something for absolutely everyone, with doorbusting bargains on TVs, bed and bath products, clothing basics and toys. The fine jewelry selection was small, but the discounts were noteworthy at up to 80% off. Ultimately the TV selection stood out for its variety, while shoppers looking to stock up on cookware were likely disappointed.

For a store that doesn’t focus solely on electronics, Kmart offered a terrific selection of discounted TVs for almost every price range:

55” LG LED: $899.99

50” LG Plasma: $549.99

40” Samsung LED: $429.99

40” Toshiba LCD: $379.99

51” Samsung Plasma: $479.99

32” Toshiba LCD: $249.99

42” RCA LCD: $239.99

22” Seiki LED: $139.99

The toy selection was also both extensive and deeply discounted:

Singer Zig Zag sewing maching: $10.99 (50% off)

Graco doll playset: $22.99 ($10 off)

Baby Alive Dressed for School: $21.99 ($8 off)

Lalaloopsy Doll Assortment: $16.99 ($8 off)

Plus, for $10 each, shoppers could choose any of the following products:

Barbie Sisters Sleep Out

Barbie doll and couch

Barbie Princess stylin’ head

Disney Princess 3-pack ballerina dolls

Disney Princess favorite moments 4-pack

Kitchenware didn’t fare quite as well. Among the meager selection of less astoundingly priced items were a wire-rack baker or condiment server for $4 off, and a Kenmore bread maker or George Foreman grill for $39.99. A basic Black & Decker hand mixer, iron, coffee maker and Hamilton Beach slow cooker were each available for $9.99, a nice price for some stocking stuffers. And at $19.99, the 16-piece Basic Essentials cookware set (orig. 49.99) was a solid deal.

The store opened its doors at 8pm on Thanksgiving until 3am Friday morning, reopening two hours later to frenzied crowds across the country.

How excited were customers about this sale? Oh, pretty excited. Just ask the man who threatened to stab fellow shoppers as the line to enter the store became increasingly unruly. Or the man who left his girlfriend’s two-year-old son in his car while he shopped for a giant TV, then snagged a ride home from a friend, leaving his car in the freezing parking lot with the child still inside. To Kmart’s credit, it was their employees who found the boy and brought him to a hospital.

Last year’s Black Friday sale was obviously hotly anticipated – here’s hoping this year’s event is defined more by the markdowns than the madness.
